Nutritional Deficiencies that can lead to Dementia: • omega 3’s• vitamin B12• Vitamin D• vitamin C• Magnesium• Selenium• Probiotics• And many other nutrients

The Mediterranean Diet“These findings suggested that adherence to the Mediterranean Diet may affect not only the risk of AD, but also of pre-dementia syndromes and their progression to overt dementia.High levels of consumption of fats from fish, vegetable oils, non-starchy vegetables, low glycemic index fruits and a diet low in foods with added sugars and with moderate wine intake should be encouraged. Hopefully this will open new opportunities for the prevention and management of dementia and AD.”

“Alzheimer’s Disease cases had lower serum vitamin D concentrations than matched controls. This reinforces the conceptualization of vitamin D as a 'neurosteroid hormone' and as a potential biomarker of Alzheimer’s Disease.”

Coconut Oil • Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) the primary type of fat found within coconut oil• The majority of fats we consume are long-chain triglycerides which are harder to absorb and utilize• Has been proven to boost cognitive performance in older adults suffering from memory disorders includingAlzheimer’sHow long would this take and how much is needed? Months? Days? A Single Dose?Coconut Oil • This study showed that just 40ml (2.7 tablespoons) caused an almost immediate improvement in cognitive performance in people with Alzheimer’s“Glucose is the brain's principal energy substrate. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), there appears to be a pathological decrease in the brain's ability to use glucose.Neurobiological evidence suggests that ketone bodies are an effective alternative energy substrate for the brain. Elevation of plasma ketone body levels through an oral dose of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) may improve cognitive functioning in older adults with memory disorders.”

“AD patients have defects in phagocytosis of amyloid- beta in vitro by the innate immune cells, monocyte/ macrophages and in clearance of Abeta plaques. The natural product curcuminoids enhanced brain clearance of Abeta.”

“Increasing energy output from a variety of physical activities is related to larger gray matter volumes in the elderly, regardless of cognitive status. Physical activity can be neuroprotective and reduce the risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

“Physical activity counteracts neuronal loss and behavioral deficits. The present findings underscore the relevance of increased physical activity as a potential strategy in the prevention of dementia.”

“Regular physical exercise may thus increase angiogenesis, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and the synthesis of neurotransmitters in different cerebral structures involved in cognition due to an increase in the liberation of neurotrophic factors and the production of enzymatic antioxidants.”

“There is an inversely proportional relationship between the amount of physical activity undertaken and the risk of cognitive decline and/or the development of neurodegenerative disease.”

Statins (Cholesterol lowering Drugs)• Suppress the synthesis of cholesterol• Deplete your brain of coenzyme Q10 and neurotransmitter precursors• Prevent adequate delivery of essential fatty acids and fat-solubleantioxidants to the brain by inhibiting the production of theindispensable carrier biomolecule known as low-density lipoproteinStatin-associated adverse cognitive effects have been reported with90% resolving after drug discontinuation.

The 7 areas that may cause memory loss and dementia but can bereversed:

1.Mercury and other Heavy Metal Poisoning2.Prescription Medication side effects3.Stress, stagnation, and inactivity4.Thyroid and other hormonal imbalances5.Inflammation6.Artificial food colors, flavors and sweeteners7.Nutritional imbalances and deficiencies

1. Mercury and Other Heavy Metal PoisoningSources of Mercury:• Vaccines: Annual flu shots• Amalgam fillingsThimerosal•Used in vaccines as a preservative and is 49.6%ethylmercury• Mercury can cause immune, sensory, neurological,motor and behavioral dysfunctions

Affects of the Flu ShotDr. Hugh Fudenberg, MD• The world’s leading Immunogeneticist• Founder and Director of Research, NeuroImmunoTherapeutic Research Foundation•Over 850 papers published in peer-reviewed publicationsAfter 5 consecutive flu shots, the chances of acquiringAlzheimer’s Disease was 10 times (1000%) higherthan those who had only one or two vaccinations

Aluminum Adjuvants in Vaccines•Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that is in many commonchildhood and adult vaccines• May even exceed the toxicity of mercury•Is added to the vaccine in order to boost your immuneresponse to the antigen•Allows the vaccine manufacturer to use smaller amountsof the antigen which makes production less expensive•Aluminum has no biological role inside the body• May lead to long-term brain inflammation along withmany other health problems

Aluminum"Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxinand the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant. Despitealmost 90 years of widespread use of aluminumadjuvants, medical science's understanding about theirmechanisms of action is still remarkably poor.”“There is also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicologyand pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite ofthis, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appearsto be widely accepted.”

AluminumIn our opinion, the possibility that vaccine benefits may havebeen overrated and the risk of potential adverse effectsunderestimated, has not been rigorously evaluated in themedical and scientific community. We hope that the presentpaper will provide a framework for a much needed and longoverdue assessment of this highly contentious medicalissue."Researchers discovered:Children up to 6 months of age receive 14.7 to 49 timesmore aluminum from vaccines that the FDA safety limits allow

Affects of Aspartame“It was seen that aspartame disturbs amino acidmetabolism, protein structure and metabolism,integrity of nucleic acids, neuronal function,endocrine balances and changes in the brainconcentrations of catecholamines.”

Inflammation• Neuroinflammation is the result of damage among brain•Healthy microglia populations are focused onpreventing inflammation among neurons, thuspreventing damage to brain cells• Microglia are immune cells (macrophages) that areresponsible for dealing with toxins and infection in thecentral nervous system• Microglia are also responsible for cleaning up the amyloid plaque that plays a role in Alzheimer’s

Inflammation• Damage from oxidative stress have been linked to thebuild-up of plaque• Oxidation is produced through an imbalance betweentoxins that form oxidative radicals and antioxidants.“Pro-inflammatory cytokines seem to have negative effectson the aging brain and have been related to dementia.”“These patterns of data suggested that inflammation wasparticularly detrimental in inactive older adults and mayexacerbate the negative effects of physical inactivity onbrain and cognition in old age.”

Preventing Oxidative Damage“The purpose of the study was to test whether dailyconsumption of a beverage with high antioxidant power,combining extracts of green tea and apple over a periodof 8 months, would affect blood and urinaryconcentrations of biomarkers of oxidative stress inAlzheimer's patients.”“Our results suggest that antioxidant beverages could beused as a natural complementary therapy to alleviate ordecrease the oxidative stress effects in the stages ofAlzheimer's disease.”

Reversal of Cognitive Decline• A new program from UCLA and the first study to provenatural therapies can not only slow the progress ofdementia but can actually reverse it•Dr. Dale Bredesen, professor of neurology at the Mary S.Easton Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research at UCLA9 out of 10 subjects diagnosed with dementiawere able to reverse their cognitive decline

The Protocol• eliminating all simple carbohydrates;• eliminating gluten and processed food;• increasing vegetables, fruits, and non-farmed fish;• reducing stress with yoga and meditation;• increasing sleep from 4-5 hours per night to 7-8 hours per night;• taking methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), vitamin D, CoQ10, andfish oil each day;• optimizing oral hygiene using an electric flosser and electrictoothbrush;• fasting for a minimum of 12 hours between dinner and breakfast;• exercising for a minimum of 30 minutes, 4-6 days per week.

Side Effect is Health“Although the downside to the program is thecomplexity and the number of lifestyle changesrequired, the only side effect of the protocol wasimproved health and an optimal body mass index,a stark contrast to the side effects of many drugs."Dr. Dale Bredesen,
